To anyone commenting regarding no driving footage Look, my reasons for not including it are because it’s just so much quicker not too. Plain and simple.

Whilst I fully understand that some people may find it a “downgrade” or “poor quality” that’s absolutely fine. You’re perfectly entitled to your opinion. Should you decide to stick around I’ll be very great full. If you don’t want to watch then thats fine also. 🤙🏻 Thank you to those of you who appreciate the hard work that goes in none the less .
It's your channel, you can do whatever you want with it. I personally like watching truck driving, and I think that's probably why many watch your channel. I think you're in danger of getting angry and irritated with the very people who make up the numbers, alienating them and losing the views. But who cares what people think eh
I mean, it was a truck driving channel, you attracted views from people who wanted to watch truck driving. Turning around to those people and saying truck driving is boring, I'm not filming it, you should appreciate the work I put in regardless, does seem a little tone deaf.
Hi Luke, I have been looking forward to this Vlog for a while, but I have to say I miss the driving, it gives your truck Vlog the right feel for what is a trucking Vlog. You really are in risk of making your channel a loading, unloading, Tomtom and strapping channel. Best wishes, a one time HGV Class 1.
Exactly Luke. What your showing in this video is the technical side of the job, the unloading and loading and how the industry works behind the scenes. What do people expect just s#*t loads of driving footage? Stuff that we’ve all seen before. I’m class 1 same as you and I could do that just stick my go pro on the screen and post hours of driving footage. Your showing the other side of the job. Luke it’s your channel, your content, your editing and you put out what you like mate. If people don’t like it they don’t have to watch it do they? For anyone aspiring to be a truck driver videos like this are educational.🙂👍🏻
Very interesting and enjoyable video but definitely miss some of the driving between drops and loading. Enjoy your break and have a really good time having waited for the last couple of years to be able to enjoy it.
I enjoy your content, interesting and informative. Although I have had a varied driving career so far, there is still a lot for me to learn, and that is what I enjoy about watching your channel and others on TH-cam, I have learnt a lot from the content you post. I am hoping in the near future to get my channel up and running and show those that are interested what I am doing. I only have a few videos on my channel at the moment, but watching your stuff gives me some ideas! Keep up the good work and look forward to the next one!
Hi Luke.great vlog. I’ve started my class 1 training on Friday. Loving it. You and trucker Tim inspired me. Vlog whichever way you want to, driving or not.
and your videos have inspired me to get into it. i have my head in the books and it is medical tomorrow. glad it is going well at stobarts i hope i can get in there when my theory is done.
@@komfyslippers ah mate, made my day if I’ve helped with your decision, wish I done it years ago. Can’t believe I’ve been stuck in an office for all those years. Medical is just a formality buddy, nothing to stress over. Send off both forms asap tho. Soon as you’ve got provisional entitlement you can book your theory. Keep me posted buddy 👍
Brilliant video luke. For me I love watching what you post. I’m in the middle of learning my theory for the class 2 license so yours videos are really helping. Can I also ask what Sat Nav you using. Keep up the good work 👍
Hi Luke. I personally prefer the content involving the driving BUT I'm going to stay subscribed to you. I enjoy your content personally. It is your channel mate and your at liberty to post any kind of video you choose, I totally get that. You won't be able to please everyone mate no matter what content you put up. Keep up the good work.
Hi Luke still an interesting video, but I must agree with some others that I miss the driving and manoeuvring, realise its more work for you but hope you put some of that content back in, keep up the good work and keep safe! 😀🚛
Hi Luke a very enjoyable video as always but I do miss the driving content in between. Only Fool’s & Horses as you might know was filmed in Bristol & a pub that appeared in a episode use to be a local of a mate of mine when he stayed down that way but he stays in Fife in Bonny Scotland 🏴🇪🇺 where you see the best scenery on the Planet 🌎 Pal. 👍
Thank you Luke Enjoyed your video Always worth watching long or short. Find them interesting Enjoy your break Don’t forget the sun cream. 😂😂. Thanks again Take care and Stay safe and safe Trucking.
I buddy hope you are well nice to see ya.just hope it does not get too hot for the rest of the summer. Philip likes your orange wast coat I won't mind one of them. Take care and I hope you enjoy your concerts philip. Happy trucking buddy phil.
Just a quick question Luke but have you managed to make any progress on the operator's license cpc and another brilliant vlog buddy take care of yourselves won't you Luke
Hi luke have you ever done a tacho video aimed at new drivers? Just showing the basics to get a newbie more familiar I'm sure theres videos out there just wondering if you've done one? Thanks. I've got my class1 in September got my tacho card and just done my 35hour cpc this week. And thanks for the tom tom link saved me £40 on the 7inch expert.
Alright mate I seen you last week heading towards Oxford from swindon I gave you a beep I was in a bright green ao van🤦♂️😂 you beeped back think it was on the a440
Not sure if you thrive on pressure Luke. But stress is a killer.... At aged 74 I like to know what I do. I do 240 miles per day. 12:00 start, finish by 23:00. No stress unless Motorway shut etc. DHL.
Hi luke brilliant video mate it nice to see you film again. can I ask you a question? I,m studying for my HQV theory test. and wanted to know is when you have been driving for 4 hours 30 min do you have to take the full 45 mins break or can you sprit it in to two breaks? so you can clear it for a another 4 hours 30 mins drive also when you are waiting to be loaded or unloaded do you put it on to break?
After 4hr 30 of driving you need to have had 45 minutes of rest before you can drive again. So if you haven't had any other rest until this point it must be 45 minutes uninterupted. Breaks can be split but the second must be at least 30 minutes. However, as I say if after 4hr 30 of driving you've had no rest it has to be 45 minutes uninterrupted. You need to have a break of 30 minutes after 6hrs work or 45 minutes after 4hr 30min driving whichever comes first. If you are doing NO work yourself during the loading/unloading period (like sitting on an RDC loading bay) you can pop the tacho on break. But you must NOT carry out any work during this time, not even opening a trailer curtain or a ratchet strap. I hope this helps you. Good luck with your tests and new career!
@@heinz551yes that is a help thanks mate but can I ask one more question? while you are sitting there waiting to be loaded or unloaded and you do put it on break. is there a limited amount of time you can keep on break or do you change it till something else?
@@heinz551 ok thanks I understand it better now you have explained to me. As I,m new and trying to learn all about it I was getting very confused but not now. thanks for all your help mate take care
Your comments on cyclists in London are so true. The majority of them lack basic road-craft, let alone defensive driving skills. Most of them are colour bind and don't recognise red/amber/green and suffer from a high level of self entitlement. Finally they are never wrong and the Evening Standard always reports Cyclist killed by Lorry when in reality it is the fault of the cyclist which as I point out to the journalist is the reason the Police very rarely prosecute a lorry driver when a cyclist is involved.
Your going gray mate imao those tufts on your temples . Been following you since before covid so you ain't been driving very long and your gone gray already 😜😁
I've noticed a few blogger's videos are showing less content,I reckon once you're sponsered content definitely diminishes,hope the sponsers are not controlling that 🤔
Hey! Seems you’re getting a bit of crap for something that’s out of your control, maybe people need to read up on these new driving laws which aren’t only for car drivers. It’s illegal for ANY driver from touching any device which connects to Wi-Fi or satellite whilst driving, basically Luke would have to start his phone before he set off and he wouldn’t be allowed to touch that device again until he either stopped or his phone cut off. He did say right at the beginning of this vlog that he’d forgotten his cameras so there would be no footage of him driving.
Videos are getting worse mate ! Like your not to bothered about TH-cam no more?? The videos with all round coverage of you on the road are the best I no it’s more work to edit it but not being funny isn’t that why you do it to bring good content to the viewers ?? This new format is lazy mate in my opinion just saying
Luke, the Hard Hat was unfortunately my fault.... 19yrs ago I took there Timber in from Hull Dock and a Bearer came down and smacked me on the head.... So I'm sorry bout that 😆 🤣 😂
That was the poorest video you have done it comes across as you can no longer be bothered, come on man buck up bring your cameras and film yourself doing some manoeuvring and driving!!
This not a criticism of you, more if drivers in general, and I know its a phrase but it bugs me when I hear drivers talk of "getting a break in" or similar. They should be valued as opposed to something that is being treated like a necessary evil. We do enough hours. Granted I myself left the general haulage world game a while ago to go for own account stuff so I'm not chasing my tail or doing 60hr weeks anymore, but I feel thus is something that's wrong with the industry and has been for a long time. I suspect many new passes having been seduced by the media purporting a shortage will soon cut and run once they find out exactly what being a lorry driver entails.
Sorry, but not "a typical cyclist" Luke. Most typical cyclists are just as law abiding and observant as any one else on the road. Anyhow, keep up the vids mate!
@@lukecinahgv No, I absolutely agree with that. In London I'm surprised there are still cyclists (as in they aren't all road kill). They are a law unto themselves! No regard for themselves, pedestrians or any road users.
and the stupid thing is i bet the car driver got fined for that bike crashing into it because of the stupid laws that let push bikes and people walking do what the f they want
@@lukecinahgv would just like more driving in the videos that's all. I mean on average from the last month your views are down from like half a year ago.
Well, the videos from half a year ago are gonna have more views. They’ve been uploaded for longer 😂 these videos will have similar figures in 6 months time
Behave. Get 10 cyclists and 10 truck drivers. We will see how many break the Highway Code in a 5 minute period. Im not saying truck drivers are perfect. Some are complete idiots too. But. In my opinion, (of which I’m entitled) the worst offender on the roads are cyclists. This particular cyclists wasn’t paying attention. End of story. So busy looking down and peddling. He also wasn’t wearing a helmet. If it was any other type of motorist he would have been reported for driving without due care and attention but I bet nothing happens. He’ll get away with it. Just like he will when he crossed red lights, rides on the wrong side of the road, turns without signaling. It’s funny how cyclists want a one and a half meter gap when you over take (fine by the way) but if they end up going faster then you they’ll UNDERTAKE much closer. Lorry drivers need to take multiple exams and tests to get their licence. Again I’m not saying we’re all perfect because we’re not, but at least we’re scrutinised. Any muppet and jump on a bike 🚴
To anyone commenting regarding no driving footage
Look, my reasons for not including it are because it’s just so much quicker not too. Plain and simple. And Most the time I don’t have my cameras on me atm. Driving is easy. (And mostly boring in my book)
To me the interesting part is the places I go and the loads I collect and deliver. How I strap it down and so on So that is what I’m concentrating on. It also means that on weekends, I have less to edit and can spend more time with my family.
Whilst I fully understand that some people may find it a “downgrade” or “poor quality” that’s absolutely fine. You’re perfectly entitled to your opinion. Should you decide to stick around I’ll be very great full.

Just a quick question Luke but have you managed to make any progress on the operator's license cpc and another brilliant vlog buddy take care of yourselves won't you Luke
Do you ever run out if straps trying to secure load?
Going to Peckham, delivering to Del Boy.
Out if curiosity with a flat bed load during an overnight park up before delivering have you ever had anyone release the straps and steal anything?

Great video luke

Some aren’t and some are. 🤙🏻
Did notice that you for got to lock the ratchet up the one you put on in the yard and drove it as when you was filling up with fuel it was still up
That’s right I noticed it on the way back from paying and put it back down 🤙🏻

Yes. On the daf it steers
Your going gray mate imao those tufts on your temples . Been following you since before covid so you ain't been driving very long and your gone gray already 😜😁
6 years is long enough 😂
I did 30 years do you think you will last that long
My dad has done 30
My grandad did over 50
I’m hoping to join them yes. In fact I’m hoping to have my own truck in a couple of years 🤙🏻
Hope you get there Luke known afew tryed going on their own but came back to regular wages and less headache
I can imagine mate. I think financially I’d be better of NOT doing it. But also I like a challenge 😂
Would Love to see your driving skills going in and out of London

As an when required. Maybe once every few months

"Typical cyclist"? More like typical tattooed big-headed lorry driver spouting nonsense.

Lorry drivers need to take multiple exams and tests to get their licence. Again I’m not saying we’re all perfect because we’re not, but at least we’re scrutinised. Any muppet and jump on a bike 🚴
Typical truck driver blame the cyclist 🤣 😂
